THE LIGHT OF FAITH The first reading today is charged with the glory of the Lord. Everyone who can come to the holy city does come—whole caravans of people of all ages on foot and on dromedaries and camels. This description of an irresistible light-filled city prepares us for the story of the magi. They are guided by their own lights—their study of astronomy and astrology—and by the light of a peculiar star. Their study tells them that an unusual event in the heavens is a sign of an extraordinary birth on earth. They mean to find out about this, and they set out with gifts worthy of a king. They are welcomed into an insignificant house in Bethlehem, offer gifts befitting a king, and receive the gift of faith. Paul reinforces the great gift of faith available to the Gentiles, whom the magi represent. What they have seen has changed them, just as it changed Paul and all who heeded his proclamation. Like the magi and like Paul, we are invited to receive this life that is filled with the light of faith. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Life hands us many epiphanies or “wake-up calls.” A few years ago, a young couple adopted a two-year-old child in a morass of red tape, complications, and court hearings. At the baby’s baptism, the priest suggested appending an “adoption blessing,” wherein the new relationship was expressed and affirmed. There is a place in that rite for the child to speak, and instead the priest said, “Can you give Daddy a kiss?” Standing in the midst of his church, the young adoptive father suddenly welled up with tears as he embraced the child. Afterward, he explained that through all the hassles and legal struggles he never until that moment in church understood that he was the parent of this child. The ritual claimed them for each other, gave expression to their relationship that the legal documents never could, and firmly cemented this child into the heart of a community as everyone erupted into heartfelt applause. This assembly witnessed in a powerful way what happens in every baptism: the mystery of adoption, the free flow of grace, the overwhelming sense of God’s presence at the heart of our life’s journey. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
LA LUZ DE LA FE La primera lectura de hoy nos trae la gloria del Señor que tiene tanta fuerza y pureza que puede inundar a Jerusalén. La lectura es tan gloriosa que los corazones palpitan y rebozan de júbilo. Todos aquellos que pueden venir a Tierra Santa vienen, caravanas repletas de gente a pie y en camellos y otros dromedarios. Esta descripción de una ciudad tan llena de una luz irresistible nos prepara para la historia de los magos. Van guiados por sus propias luces –su estudio de astronomía y astrología– y por la luz de una estrella peculiar. Su estudio les dice que un fenómeno extraordinario en el cielo es señal de un nacimiento extraordinario en la tierra. Determinan averiguar lo acontecido y salen con regalos dignos de un rey. Son bienvenidos a una casita insignificante en Belén, ofrecen regalos dignos de un rey, y reciben el regalo de la fe. Pablo destaca el gran regalo de la fe disponible a los gentiles, representados en los magos. Lo que vieron y creyeron los ha cambiado, igual que cambió a Pablo y a todos los que escuchan su proclamación. Igual que los magos, y que Pablo, estamos invitados a recibir esta vida que está llena de la luz de la fe. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italianos a las Iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pesebre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llegó al continente americano en donde se conviertió en la decoración principal para las fiestas navideñas. Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parrandas, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines! Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por esto, muchos niños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © J. S. Paluch Co.

I-HELP – HAS A NEW HOME! For 25 years, the homeless men in Salinas have been served dinner and stayed overnight in a different Church every day of the week. We here at Sacred Heart have been fortunate enough to offer them our hospitality twice a month. The I-Help Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank Sacred Heart and to let the parish know that these men will now have a fixed emergency shelter in which to stay (3050 Lexington Ct., Marina CA). But … imagine what it would be like if you were moving into a place of your own with nothing more than a backpack and the clothes on your back. Life has not given them an easy road, but just one caring adult, one simple act can make a difference in the life of our homeless. Remember … HOMELESS doesn’t mean heartless AND jobless does not mean hopeless. Here is a “wish list” of things they could use in their new home. For more information please call: 831-384-3388 or visit the Shelter Outreach Plus website at www.sopinc.org.
